Aldean's team shared the news of his performance in a video tweet, with Aldean saying, "I just wanna say I'm super excited to be nominated for Entertainer of the Year, and also just found out we're gonna be performing on the 52nd annual ACM Awards." The superstar was petting an adorable little dog while he spoke, noting that the pooch won't be at the awards show, but "he'll be watching and you guys should watch, too."
